Extract

This paper is concerned with the notion of independence relating sets of elements in a ring A to a proper ideal a of A. A set of elements a1, …, anA is called a-independent if every form in A[X1, …, Xn] vanishing at a1,…, an has all its coefficients in a. This notion leads to many questions (cf. (2) and (12)), which are of some interest in their own right, several of which are considered here. On the other hand, this independence is related to the structure of the graded ring associated to the ideal generated by the set of elements, hence is often relevant to some problems concerning regular sequences and complex.
